Chapter 119 Winning or Losing?

At the other end of the black valley at the moment, Yang Zhan was with a dark face, carefully listening to the sound from the other side of the valley through the huge boulders blocking the road in a mess in the sky.

He rode over from the central army immediately after the explosion of the mountain. The loud sound of the earth crashing and earth shattering sounded wrong, but when he arrived at the front army, he saw that it was not good. The cunning barbarian thought of exploding the mountain to block the road. Make it impossible for your own army to pass.

Seeing the former army staying in front of the valley, Yang Zhan felt a little relieved. The former army did not enter the valley and was not cut off by the landslide. Clever, could he be able to stop the front of the army?If the dry road is impassable, it is the same as going back and taking the water road, but it will take more time.

When he looked around, he found that his brother-in-law Niu Sicheng had been missing for a long time, and the number of the former army seemed to be less, so he felt bad. The few thousand generals who stayed behind in the former army timidly reported to him, saying General Niu Sicheng Niu had already led a thousand birds in command, and had already gone through the valley before the landslide. Yang Zhan's eyes went dark, and he almost fell off his horse.

When he came to his senses later, Thunder was furious. The first thing he did was to tie up all the remaining generals of the former army and order them to be whipped by the supervisor. However, as generals under his command, they are safe and sound, so naturally they cannot escape the military law.Then, Yang Zhan ordered the remaining 2000 people from the former army to put down their weapons and carry the stones blocked in the sky. If they can't move a passage, all 2000 people don't want to go back.

And he himself stood at the mouth of the valley, listening attentively to the sounds coming from the other side of the valley, and guessing the battle situation.

Angry is angry, but he is angry, most of it is Niu Sicheng, an idiot who didn't listen to the arrangement, and just took the bird commanding soldiers on his own and went there first. You can win a big battle, but what if you meet Zhang Xianzhong?So what?

Yang Zhan's deputy general came to his side, observed his words and said: "Don't worry about the army. General Niu has a great strategy, and he is brave enough to win the three armies. He is also a brave man under his command. Maybe by the time we dig through the mountain pass, General Niu has already reached the Longevity Valley and seized the silver mine in Tubaozhai."

Hearing this, Yang Zhan felt a little relieved, and said with a long breath: "You don't have to speak for him, my brother-in-law, I know how many things he has, but I'm angry because he doesn't listen to my general's order. Act on your own, if you really meet a strong enemy like him, you will either be killed by the enemy sooner or later, or be punished by the Shangguan military law, how can you get on the stage."

Sighing, he said again: "Forget it, I wanted him to make great contributions this time, and also be able to worship generals and ascend to the altar, and honor his ancestors. Since he is so unsatisfactory, when he goes back, I will dismiss him and go back to guard. Let’s just live with the industry.”

The lieutenant snickered, thinking that your brother-in-law is no longer a thing, you are so partial to favors, sooner or later you will be involved as an old man, you better understand.

But he said: "The army doesn't have to be like this. General Niu is an auspicious man, and he is a member of the lucky general. Hey, listen, how dense the gunshots are, even if the barbaric people from all over the country can't resist the might of General Niu and Hu. "

During the conversation, at the moment when the birds were shooting in formation, the gunshots like fried beans were like thunder, and the sharp murderous aura could be felt across a black valley. Listening to the gunshots, Yang Zhan and the generals were relieved , beaming.

Yang Zhan even thought that even if the Black Valley was blocked by rocks and he couldn't get through, as long as Niu Sicheng with 1000 people went all the way to the Longevity Valley and seized the silver mine, he would also have made great achievements. It can also be seen that he can seize the mine and make meritorious service, let him be spared for the time being.

Hey, Tubaozhai Silver Mine produces thousands of gold every day, how should I spend it?It's better to bribe Zeng Ying, send some rare treasures and stunning beauties, and ask him to let Niu Sicheng take over the management of the silver mine. In this way, won't his family's wealth flow in?

Hahaha, the more Yang Zhan thinks about it, the happier he becomes, the more he thinks about it, the more excited he is, it's a pity that there is no alcohol in the army, otherwise he must have a drink to his heart's content. Just at this moment, there is a loud drumbeat on the other side of the valley, and the gunshots change from dense to sparse, and gradually subside , All the generals got excited and said one after another: "Please listen to the military gate. The gunshots are gradually fading away. It must be General Niu who has killed all the barbarians. He is gathering his courage to chase and kill the remaining bandits. Congratulations."

Yang Zhan also had a happy face, and he was very proud. He couldn't help but order the former army officers and soldiers to step up the digging and dig through the mountain road. He was impatient and wanted to gallop to the silver mine to see what it was like. .

But the power of five hundred catties of black gunpowder explosion is not covered. Almost half of the top of Kuafu Mountain has been cut off, and it is piled up in a line of sky. How can the huge boulder weighing thousands of catties be moved by human power? Instead, several of the sweating sergeants were injured by the falling rocks. After working for a long time, they were still unable to do anything.

Yang Zhan turned around on the spot impatiently, waited for a while, but heard a violent explosion on the other side of the valley, which made his heart beat and he stopped suddenly.

Explosions followed one after another. It seemed that many red cannons were roaring for a long time, and it stopped after a long time. After that, there was a deathly silence, and there was no more sound.

Looking up, I saw a black cloud rising over the valley, filling half of the sky.

Yang Zhan and the people around him were all stunned, looking up at the black clouds in the sky, standing still like wooden stakes.

After a while, Yang Zhan opened his mouth slowly and asked hoarsely, "Are there such powerful firearms in our army?"

The lieutenant general beside him looked at the others, no one dared to say anything, so he had to bite the bullet and answer in a low voice: "This, it seems that there is no such thing."

Yang Zhan turned his head to look at him in confusion, and asked again with some anxiety: "Then what is this?"

The lieutenant opened his mouth wide, speechless.

An ominous thought arose in Yang Zhan's mind, he stood there staring at the black clouds for a while, his eyes gradually became sharper, and he yelled at the bound former army general Qian like crazy: "Let them go! Let them dig the mountain, if you don't dig the mountain within today, I will cut off your heads!"

The soldiers rushed forward and untied their ties, and several Qianzongs kowtowed their heads to thank them, and hurriedly went to dig the mountain.

Yang Zhan turned his head and yelled at the lieutenant again: "Choose soldiers who are good at climbing mountains, climb up from the cliff, see what's real, and see what happened over there!"

The lieutenant jumped, and quickly responded to his orders, and went to select soldiers.

The rest of the generals, looking at each other, quietly retreated a few steps at the same time. At this time, the fool can also see that something is wrong on the other side of the mountain. Niu Sicheng is leading the bird commander, not the artillery. The black clouds soaring into the sky cannot be produced by the launch of the bird system, Niu Sicheng, something must have happened!

But what happened?No one can answer.

Is it true that the army of a thousand birds was wiped out by the barbarians?Everyone dared not even think about this idea. How could it be possible? In the heyday of the white-armed soldiers, they also relied on long spear formations to defeat the enemy. I have never heard of Shizhu soil barbarians using firearms.

And looking at the black cloud, it may be the explosion effect of thousands of catties of black powder. Does Qin Liangyu have that much gunpowder?Even if there is, is it that Niu Sicheng is a fool, standing still and watching the local man approaching to ignite the explosives?
